Five detained for political activist’s murder
Detectives yesterday detained two more suspects in connection with the murder of former National Front Alliance (NFA) executive member Fiesal Ferose Ali.
Dead: Fiesal Ferose Ali
Police officials say that the youths were taken into custody in the wake of reports that they were last seen with the murder victim.
This brings to five the number of suspects who are now in custody for Ali’s murder.
Meanwhile, the search continues for a computer that was stolen from the slain man’s Alexander Village home.
Police believe that Ali was stabbed and battered to death because of incriminating information or photographs that he had stored on the computer.
Detectives have received reports that two of the suspects had argued with Ali about the computer data.
They had reportedly demanded that he hand over the information to them.
The computer appeared to be the only item that the killers stole from the former NFA executive’s residence.
The suspects are said to be frequent visitors to Ali’s Alexander Village home. According to information detectives have received, Ali had informed a neighbour on Tuesday that he was inviting two of the young men over to his home.
Two of the suspects were arrested in Sophia, while the third was held at Ali’s Alexander Village residence.
One of the youths reportedly has several matters pending before the court.
The body of the former NFA Deputy Leader was found on Wednesday on his bed with stab wounds to the chest, left shoulder and left arm. Ali also sustained a blow to the back of the head.
Police retrieved a bloodied knife and a hammer from a table near the bed. A receipt book was tucked beneath one of the pillows on the blood-soaked bed.
An autopsy performed on Friday confirmed that Ali had succumbed from blunt trauma to the head and stab wounds.
The blows which fractured Ali’s skull are believed to have been inflicted with a hammer. One of the stab wounds had penetrated the victim’s heart.
